Electronic eBook - 2022

This historical exploration of the Green Book offers "a fascinating [and] sweeping story of black travel within Jim Crow America across four decades" ( The New York Times Book Review ). Published from 1936 to 1966, the  Green Book  was hailed as the "black travel guide to America." At that time, it was very dangerous and difficult for African-Americans to travel because they couldn't eat, sleep, or buy gas at most white-owned businesses. The  Green Book  listed hotels, restaurants, gas stations, and other businesses that were safe for black travelers. It was a resourceful and innovative solution to a horrific problem. It took courage to be listed in the  Green Book , and  Overground Railroad  celebrates the stories of those who put their names in the book and stood up against segregation. Author Candacy A. Taylor shows the history of the  Green Book , how we arrived at our present historical moment, and how far we still have to go when it comes to race relations in America.  A New York Times Notable Book of 2020
